DCOM error: Access Denied (seems to be ActiveX related)

[Jo]

Ever since I reinstalled after installing SP2, I've had a grand wealth
of headaches. Right now I'm trying to deal with this DCOM-related
error every so often:

Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server using
DefaultLaunchPermssion. The server is:
{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
The user is Unavailable/Unavailable, SID=Unavailable.

This seems to coincided w/ActiveX related errors I sometimes get on
web pages. I disabled the DCOM device, because it always hangs on
start, and that delays startup by a couple of minutes! How do I fix
this?

I'm running WinXPHE SP1. Don't tell me to install SP2, 'cuz that's
what caused this problem in the first place!

Format and reinstall. This time, don't **** with shit you know nothing
about.
